Detailed Description

A single line text entry field.

The Gtk::Entry widget is a single line text entry widget. A fairly large set of key bindings are supported by default. If the entered text is longer than the allocation of the widget, the widget will scroll so that the cursor position is visible.

The Entry widget looks like this:

Sets tooltip as the contents of the tooltip for the icon at the specified position.

tooltip is assumed to be marked up with the [Pango text markup language][PangoMarkupFormat].

Use nullptr for tooltip to remove an existing tooltip.

See also Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_markup() and set_icon_tooltip_text().

Parameters
icon_posThe icon position.
tooltipThe contents of the tooltip for the icon, or nullptr.
void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_tooltip_text ( const Glib::ustring tooltip,
IconPosition  icon_pos = IconPosition::PRIMARY 
)

Sets tooltip as the contents of the tooltip for the icon at the specified position.

Use nullptr for tooltip to remove an existing tooltip.

See also Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_text() and set_icon_tooltip_markup().

If you unset the widget tooltip via Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_text() or Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_markup(), this sets GtkWidget:has-tooltip to false, which suppresses icon tooltips too. You can resolve this by then calling Gtk::Widget::set_has_tooltip() to set GtkWidget:has-tooltip back to true, or setting at least one non-empty tooltip on any icon achieves the same result.

Parameters
icon_posThe icon position.
tooltipThe contents of the tooltip for the icon, or nullptr.
void Gtk::Entry::set_input_hints ( InputHints  hints)

Sets the Gtk::Entry::property_input_hints() property, which allows input methods to fine-tune their behaviour.

Parameters
hintsThe hints.
void Gtk::Entry::set_input_purpose ( InputPurpose  purpose)

Sets the Gtk::Entry::property_input_purpose() property which can be used by on-screen keyboards and other input methods to adjust their behaviour.

Parameters
purposeThe purpose.
void Gtk::Entry::set_invisible_char ( gunichar  ch)

Sets the character to use in place of the actual text when set_visibility() has been called to set text visibility to false.

i.e. this is the character used in “password mode” to show the user how many characters have been typed. By default, GTK picks the best invisible char available in the current font. If you set the invisible char to 0, then the user will get no feedback at all; there will be no text on the screen as they type.

Parameters
chA Unicode character.
void Gtk::Entry::set_max_length ( int  max)

Sets the maximum allowed length of the contents of the widget.

If the current contents are longer than the given length, then they will be truncated to fit.

This is equivalent to getting entry's Gtk::EntryBuffer and calling Gtk::EntryBuffer::set_max_length() on it. ]|

Parameters
maxThe maximum length of the entry, or 0 for no maximum. (other than the maximum length of entries.) The value passed in will be clamped to the range 0-65536.
void Gtk::Entry::set_overwrite_mode ( bool  overwrite = true)

Sets whether the text is overwritten when typing in the Gtk::Entry.

Parameters
overwriteNew value.
void Gtk::Entry::set_placeholder_text ( const Glib::ustring text)

Sets text to be displayed in entry when it is empty.

This can be used to give a visual hint of the expected contents of the Gtk::Entry.

Parameters
textA string to be displayed when entry is empty and unfocused, or nullptr.
void Gtk::Entry::set_progress_fraction ( double  fraction)

Causes the entry’s progress indicator to “fill in” the given fraction of the bar.

The fraction should be between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive.

Parameters
fractionFraction of the task that’s been completed.
void Gtk::Entry::set_progress_pulse_step ( double  fraction)

Sets the fraction of total entry width to move the progress bouncing block for each call to progress_pulse().

Parameters
fractionFraction between 0.0 and 1.0.
void Gtk::Entry::set_tabs ( const Pango::TabArray tabs)

Sets a Pango::TabArray; the tabstops in the array are applied to the entry text.

Parameters
tabsA Pango::TabArray.
void Gtk::Entry::set_visibility ( bool  visible = true)

Sets whether the contents of the entry are visible or not.

When visibility is set to false, characters are displayed as the invisible char, and will also appear that way when the text in the entry widget is copied elsewhere.

By default, GTK picks the best invisible character available in the current font, but it can be changed with set_invisible_char().

Note that you probably want to set Gtk::Entry::property_input_purpose() to Gtk::InputPurpose::PASSWORD or Gtk::InputPurpose::PIN to inform input methods about the purpose of this entry, in addition to setting visibility to false.

Parameters
visibletrue if the contents of the entry are displayed as plaintext.
Glib::SignalProxy<void(IconPosition)> Gtk::Entry::signal_icon_press ( )
Slot Prototype:
void on_my_icon_press(IconPosition icon_position)

Flags: Run Last

The signal_icon_press() signal is emitted when an activatable icon is clicked.

Parameters
icon_positionThe position of the clicked icon.
Glib::SignalProxy<void(IconPosition)> Gtk::Entry::signal_icon_release ( )
Slot Prototype:
void on_my_icon_release(IconPosition icon_position)

Flags: Run Last

The signal_icon_release() signal is emitted on the button release from a mouse click over an activatable icon.

Parameters
icon_positionThe position of the clicked icon.
void Gtk::Entry::unset_icon ( IconPosition  icon_pos = IconPosition::PRIMARY)

Do not show any icon in the specified position.

See set_icon_from_paintable(), set_icon_from_icon_name(), and set_icon_from_gicon().

Parameters
icon_posThe icon position.
Since gtkmm 3.0:
void Gtk::Entry::unset_invisible_char ( )

Unsets the invisible char previously set with set_invisible_char().

So that the default invisible char is used again.
